Sir , PHF 1 HE respect which you describe i ( p . 123 ) as having been paid by the Ministers of the Three Denominations to Dr . Lindsay ' s memory is truly gratifying , and would lead us to hope that the bigotry which once divided them exists no longer . Strangely and lamentably different , however , is the state of the case , as a well-known recent fact , connected with Dr . Lindsay ' s name , shews . It was his custom
to preach an annual sermon to young persons on the evening of the first Sunday in the year , when a collection was made for some charitable object . This year the charity selected by the lamented preacher was the " Society for the Relief of Aged and Infirm Ministers of Protestant Dissenters of the Three Denominations . " An advertisement of the sermon was sent to
the Evangelical Magazine , and was refused admittance on the ground , it is understood , that the preacher was heretical . The same wretched bigotry has led some Dissenting Ministers , though happily they are not many , to oppose the Society altogether , because gentlemen that have not been sound in
faith may possibly have their wants supplied and their declining years made comfortable by it . Yet these opposers cry out loudly against Popish inhumanity 1 " My soul 1 come not thou into their secret , and to their assembly , mine honour ! be not thou united . ' * A DISSENTING MINISTER .

the Godhede , he was accused to the Pope of Rome that he was an Heretik . Wherefore the Pope sent aftre hyni and putte him in presoun ; and whils he was in presoun , he made that Psalm , and sente it to the Pope , and seyde , that gif he were an Heretik " , that was that heresie , for that , he seyde , was his beleeve .

whan the Pope saughe it , and had examyned it , that it was parfite and gode , and veryly oure Feythe and oure Beleeve , he made him to ben delyvered out of presoun , and commanded that Psalm to ben seyd every day at Pryme ; and so he held Athanasie a gode . man .

Nottingham , Sir , December 3 , 1820 . ^^ HE doctrine of the forgiveness of . sinners that repent , has often been stated i \ 3 depending for its evidence exclusively upon revelation . This appears to me highly improbable in itself , and dangerous in its consequences . It is a concession of which the advocates for Satisfaction and Atonement will make great use . It may be admitted

Sir , IT is at any rate gratifying to curiosity to see what men of old said of disputed matters of history and faith , and I therefore copy for you the following passage from Sir John Mandeville ' s Travels in the beginning of the 14 th century , on the subject of the Athanasian Creed , which seems to have been even in his day , and among men of his stamp , a matter of curiosity , or he would not have taken the trouble to inquire and record on the spot the tradition concerning it .
